Leonard Ellerbe, adviser to Floyd Mayweather Jr., has issued a response to rapper 50 Cent, who recently took a few swings at Mayweather on the social networks. At one time they were close friends, but that relationship fell apart when 50 Cent started his own promotional company, TMT Promotions, which he believed Mayweather was going to be involved in.

Mayweather backed away from TMT and continued to work with his existing partners, Golden Boy Promotions and adviser Al Haymon.

50 Cent dropped the TMT banner and changed the name of the company to SMS Promotions. He also took his fighters, Yuriorkis Gamboa, Billy Dib and Andre Dirrell. The most revealing move was 50 Cent's newfound alliance with Mayweather's rivals, Manny Pacquiao and Top Rank.

LOL 50 paid 7 figures to get him out of the contract and now top rank still gonna make money off him at least for another fight and be even funnier if Beltran beats Gamboa dude has been off for a long time now./

So The Money Team is one man, that doesn't sound like much of a team lmao

I don't see the problem with 50 working with TR. That was why I was happy about a new promotional entity in the first place. I doubt that GBP will push away a cross-promotional match-up with Dib/Dirrell/Gamboa.
